The three gunas: sattva, rajas, tamas, are the primary qualities of nature. They stem from The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Indian text that explains how to find serenity, peace, and stability in a world that is always changing. They also hold a place in Sankhya philosophy, which is one of the six fundamental systems of philosophy derived from the Vedas. According to this philosophy they are part of Prakruti, which is first step of creation. Prakruiti and its three Gunas are responsible for the diversity in the universe.

When we look at the gunas from a less philosophical standpoint, they tell us where our energy is in life. whether we are genuinely moving forward in life (sattva), at a stalemate (rajas), or lost (tamas).
